Energy Efficiency Works

The Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland’s (SEAI) Better Energy Homes scheme provides grants to home owners to improve the energy efficiency of their home. The scheme is open to all owners of existing houses built before 2006.

Brian M Durkan is a registered contractor with both this scheme, and with the Construction Industry Federation’s (CIF) Contractors Retrofit Register. So if you want to take the opportunity to upgrade the energy efficiency of your home or investment property, and you’re looking for a safe, qualified, trusted, reliable contractor, we offer a top quality, cost effective service.

Why upgrade the energy efficiency of your home?

You’ll have a warmer home…

And lower energy costs

The value of your property will go up

And you’ll have helped make the world a little bit greener

At Brian M Durkan, we provide a one-stop-shop for all home energy improvements and retro-fitting requirements, from the initial assessment of the home to the completion and certification of the retro-fit works. We can also help you submit the grant application to the SEAI.

The process is undertaken in 4 easy steps:

1. Evaluation

We carry out an evaluation of the property, determine its energy rating and efficiency, and identify areas of possible improvement.

2. Recommendations

Based on our evaluation of the property, we compile a detailed report including recommendations for practical and cost effective measures to improve its energy efficiency. Each recommendation is accompanied by the associated cost and improvement in efficiency/reduction in energy consumption. Home owners can then decide which options best suit their needs in terms of performance and cost.

3. Upgrade Works

Once an upgrade package is chosen, we undertake to carry out the improvement works in a timely, efficient and professional manner with the minimum of disruption and disturbance to the home owner. Our trained personnel carry out all works in accordance with best building practices, using the highest quality materials.

4. Certification

Upon completion of the upgrade works, we re-evaluate the energy rating and issue certification for the works and the new energy rating of the property. We provide the home owner with training in the operation of any new installations to ensure they benefit from the efficient running of the system. We also provide an after-sales service to offer post-installation support.
